Completion Instructions for the Industrial SWP3 Template

Transcription

1 Introduction Completion Instructions for the Industrial SWP3 Template The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has created a template to help you develop your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3). The template has sections that match the 2017 Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) OKR05 for industrial facilities. DEQ has also developed different Report Templates related to OKR05 Permit that you can use such as the Routine Facility Inspection Report, Corrective Action Report, and Quarterly Visual Monitoring Report. This SWP3 Template will help you address everything you must have in an SWP3 (Part 4 of the OKR05 Permit). For example, you tell us in the SWP3 what you have done and/or will do to prevent pollutants from your facility from getting into rain, snow, snowmelt, and stormwater runoff (using the control measures listed in Part 3.1 of the OKR05 Permit). You must also document in your SWP3 what you did (such as monitoring) to know that you are meeting your permit s effluent limits (Part 3.2 of the OKR05 Permit). Before completing the Template, make sure you read the entire 2017 OKR05 Permit (from Parts 1-10 and sector-specific requirements in Part 11) and understand all the requirements in the Permit. A copy of the 2017 OKR05 Permit is available at Tips for Completing the Industrial SWP3 Template This SWP3 Template is designed for use by all the facilities eligible for coverage under the 2017 OKR05 Permit. However, this template is NOT tailored for your individual industrial sector so you may need to address any additional SWP3 requirements outlined in Part 11 (sector specific requirements) depending on your industrial sector (see Table 1-3 of the 2017 OKR05 Permit) and your facility location. Prepare or update your SWP3 in accordance with the 2017 OKR05 Permit before submitting your NOI to DEQ to be covered under the Permit. Read the instructions for each section BEFORE you complete that section! Include your facility s specific information (based on permit requirements) in the space for each section in the SWP3 Template. DEQ developed the SWP3 Template in Microsoft Word so that you can easily include as much information as you need in order to address each section of the SWP3 Template. This might be a few sentences or a few pages. Feel free to include tables if that addresses what you do more clearly. To make it easier to complete, the SWP3 Template uses blue text where you are expected to enter information. Just delete the blue text when entering information or describing site-specific requirements in the SWP3 (based on permit requirements). DEQ has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of all instructions and guidance contained in the Instructions and SWP3 Template. But remember, if you see any differences between the 2017 OKR05 Permit and the SWP3 Template, you must follow the Permit - NOT the template. Also, if you find any differences, please share them with DEQ. That way we can consider them when making improvements to these documents in the future. DEQ welcomes any comments you have about this document and/or the SWP3 Templates and appreciates your feedback!

4 Section 1 Stormwater Team and Facility Information 1.1. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team See Part of 2017 OKR05 for the Permit requirements for Stormwater Pollution Prevention Team. You must identify the staff members of the facility s stormwater pollution prevention team by name and/or title. Incudes their telephone numbers as well. You must also include their individual roles and responsibilities. Stormwater pollution prevention team must have at least one member, but possibly several members, depending on the size and nature of the industrial facility. DEQ recommends, but does not require, that stormwater pollution prevention team include at least one individual from each shift so that there is always a stormwater pollution prevention team member on-site in case of an emergency. Your stormwater pollution prevention team, at minimum, is responsible for the following: Overseeing development of the SWP3. Making any modifications to the SWP3. Implementing and maintaining control measures and taking corrective actions when required. Performing routine facility inspections and monitoring. Supervising the housekeeping program. Making and documenting changes to the SWP3. Providing staff training. Communicating changes in the SWP3 to people working on the site Facility Information Instructions (see 2017 OKR05 Part 2.3): You will need the information from this section to complete your Notice of Intent (NOI). Print your facility s name, address, permit number (for existing permittee), primary industrial activity SIC Code or activity code. If you have co-located industrial activity, includes it s SIC Code or activity code too. A complete list of SIC Codes can be obtained from the 1987 version of the SIC Manual that is available on the US Department of Labor s website at For latitude and longitude of your facility (at the main entrance gate of your facility), open the DEQ GIS Data Viewer ( then zoom in to where your facility is. To locate your facility, you will probably need an aerial view. Click on the icon and then click on Basemap, and then click on Bing Maps Hybrid. Zoom in and put your pointer where the main entrance is located. You will see the latitude (it is the first number) and the longitude (begins with - as in -97.*** ) in the lower left corner of the map. You can also find the latitude and the longitude of each outfall using Google Earth, Compass or similar third party app in your smart phone. You must present physically at the entrance to determine latitude/longitude of the outfall using a smart phone. Please note that DEQ doesn t endorse any company or brand, it is up to you to use any specific app. Include the type of ownership of your industrial facility. Include total area of the facility, estimated total impervious area at the facility, and estimated area of industrial activity at the facility exposed to stormwater in one-tenth of acres. Page 1

5 Refer to the NOI Form B for more instructions. A copy of the NOI form is available at or in Appendix B of the 2017 OKR05 Permit. In your SWP3, you must include a copy of your 2017 OKR05 Permit in Attachment C of the SWP3 or you must include a reference or link to where your 2017 OKR05 Permit can be found Facility Contact Information You will need the information from this section of the SWP3 Template for your NOI. List the facility operator(s), facility owner and SWP3 contact(s). Indicate respective responsibilities, where appropriate, of facility operator(s), facility owner and SWP3 contact(s). Refer to NOI instructions (available in Appendix B of the 2017 OKR05). Section 2 Site Description 2.1. Activity at the Facility Instructions (see 2017 OKR05 Part 4.2.2): Provide a list with a general description of the industrial activities conducted at your facility. For this Permit, industrial activities include, but are not limited to, the following: Manufacturing and processing. Industrial materials or activities. Material handling equipment or activities. 1 Industrial machinery. Vehicle and equipment fueling, maintenance and/or cleaning. The following are examples of just some of the areas where there are activities at industrial facilities: Industrial plant yards Immediate access roads and rail lines used or traveled by carriers of raw materials, manufactured products, waste material, or by-products used or created by the facility Material handling sites 1 Refuse sites Sites used for the application or disposal of process waste waters Sites used for the storage and maintenance of material handling equipment Sites used for residual treatment, storage, or disposal Shipping and receiving areas 1 Material handling activities including storage; loading and unloading; transportation; or conveyance of any raw material, intermediate product, final product, by-product or waste product. Page 2

6 Manufacturing buildings Storage areas (including tank farms) for raw materials, and intermediate & final products Areas where industrial activity has taken place in the past and significant materials remain and are exposed to stormwater DEQ recommends that you differentiate between activities that occur indoors from those that occur outdoors which could be exposed to stormwater. Don t overlook processes that are vented and may contribute pollutants to the roof Receiving Waterbody Information Instructions (see 2017 OKR05 Part 4.2.2): Provide the name of the nearest receiving water(s), including the following: Intermittent streams Dry sloughs Arroyos and the areal extent Description of any wetland areas Other special aquatic sites such as Outstanding Resource Water or Scenic River Waters (see Part 10 of 2017 OKR05 permit for definition) that may receive discharges from your facility Identify all of your facility s stormwater outfalls with a unique 3-digit ID (e.g., 001, 002). Include the latitude and longitude for each outfall. Locate the waterbody that each of those stormwater outfalls drains into and include its official name and waterbody identification number (WBID) which can be found using the procedures in Section below. Indicate if you are treating one or more outfalls as substantially identical under Parts , 7.1.1, and If the facility is discharging into a MS4, indicate so and provide its name. Indicate which of these waterbodies are listed as impaired. Impaired waterbodies are listed in Appendix C of the Integrated Report (IR). Appendix C of the IR is also known as the 303(d) List. Information about stream impairment can be found at this DEQ s website: You will need to indicate if there is a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) or a watershed plan in lieu of a TMDL has been established for that waterbody. TMDL information can be found at this DEQ s website: The following is an explanation on how to use the DEQ GIS Data Viewer, to complete the Receiving Waterbody Information table in the SWP3 Template. You don t have to use the Data Viewer to get this information, but that is the easiest way to find all the information you will need to complete that table Official Waterbody Name and WBID The official name and WBID for each waterbody that receives stormwater from your facility can be found in Appendix B of the Integrated Report (IR). But it s much easier to find that information using the DEQ GIS Maps and Data Viewer ( If you hadn t done it before, open up the DEQ GIS Data Viewer and zoom into where your facility is located. You can also locate your facility using Location icon. Click on this icon then click on Layers and then click on Water Data. Page 3

7 Under that drop-down menu, nothing should be marked except for IR Waterbodies. On the map, click on the stream (one of five colors) or lake (if you are right next to one), into which the stormwater runs from that outfall. (If you don t know which direction your stormwater goes, click on Basemap and choose either Bing Maps Hybrid or USA Topo Map. Topo maps show elevation so look for the waterbody downhill from your facility.) Click once on the colored line representing the waterbody downhill from you, and a box will pop up on the map. The first line says WBID which is the waterbody ID. On the line below that is the official name of the waterbody Impaired Waterbodies and TMDLs Impaired waterbodies are the ones that appear as red or green on the DEQ GIS Data Viewer map. In order to find out what the impairments are, make sure that Water Data is marked, and then unmark everything in that dropdown menu except for 303(d) Waterbodies. Only impaired waterbodies will remain on the map. When you click on these waterbodies on the Data Viewer map, there will be either a 4 or 5 next to the impairments for that waterbody. Write those impairments down where indicated in the SWP3 Template. If the impairment is followed by 4a, that means a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) has been completed for it Latitude and Longitude of each Stormwater Outfall Open the DEQ GIS Data Viewer ( then zoom in to where your facility is. To locate each outfall, you will probably need an aerial view. Click on the icon, and then click on Basemap, and then click on Bing Maps Hybrid. Zoom in and put your pointer where each of your outfalls is located. You will see the latitude (it is the first number) and the longitude (begins with - as in -97.*** ) in the lower left corner of the map. You can also find the latitude and the longitude of each outfall using Google Earth, Compass or similar third party app in your smart phone. You must be present physically at the outfall location to determine latitude/longitude of the outfall using a smart phone Outstanding Resource Waters or Sensitive Waters and Watersheds Outstanding Resource Water (ORW) is considered to be an outstanding resource or have exceptional recreational and/or ecological significance 2 as described in Title785, Chapter (a) in the 2015 version of Oklahoma s Water Quality Standards (WQS). These waters include: Streams designated Scenic River or ORW in Appendix A of the Oklahoma WQS. Waters located within Scenic Rivers watersheds. Additionally, ORW may include: Waters located within national and state parks. Waters located within forests. Waters located within wilderness areas. Waters located within wildlife management areas. 2 Additional information can be found in Section (Endangered and Threatened Species & Critical Habitat Protection) and Appendix A of the 2017 MSGP OKR05. Page 4

8 Waters located within wildlife refuges. Waters which contain species listed pursuant to the federal Endangered Species Act as described in 785: (c)(2)(A) of the Oklahoma WQS and 785: (c) of the Implementation of Oklahoma's Water Quality Standards (aka Chapter 46). No degradation of water quality is allowed in any of the waters which are designated as ORW in the Limitations column in the tables found in Appendix A of the Oklahoma WQS or are located within the boundaries of any of the areas listed on the tables in Appendix B of the Oklahoma WQS. There are also High Quality Waters (HQW) whose historic water quality and physical habitat provide more ecological refuges than other waters in the same ecoregion with similar chemistry and physical conditions. HQW are prohibited from having any new point source discharge(s) or an increased load or concentration from existing point source discharge(s) of oxygen demanding substances (CBOD or BOD), ammonia nitrogen and/or total organic nitrogen, phosphorus, or total suspended solids (TSS). There cannot be any discharges into HQW if that might lower its existing water quality. To find out if discharges from your facility are going into these sensitive waterbodies using the DEQ GIS Data Viewer, click on Water Data. Under that drop down menu, the only things that should be marked are the IR Waterbodies and OKR05 Stormwater Sensitive Areas. If your stormwater discharge goes into a waterbody in one of the aqua shaded areas, then you are in ORW or other sensitive waters General Location Map Instructions (see 2017 MSGP Part 4.2.2): Include a general location map under Attachment A of the completed SWP3. Prepare a general location map (e.g., DEQ Flex-viewer or U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle map or aerial image from the internet) with enough detail to identify the location of your facility and all receiving waters for your stormwater discharges (include as Attachment A of this SWP3 Template). Examples of General Location Maps: or Example-1 Example-2 Page 5

9 2.4. Site Map Instructions (see 2017 OKR05 Part 4.2.2): Prepare a site map or series of maps showing the following information and include these maps under Attachment B of the completed SWP3: Boundaries of the property and the size of the property in acres. Location and extent of significant structures and impervious surfaces. Directions of stormwater flow (use arrows to show the directions of stormwater flow). Locations of all stormwater control measures (e.g., all structural BMPs). Locations of all receiving waters, including wetlands, in the immediate vicinity of your facility. Indicate which waterbodies are listed as impaired and which are identified by the state as outstanding resources waters. Locations of all stormwater conveyances including ditches, pipes and swales. Locations of potential pollutant sources identified under Part Locations where significant spills or leaks identified under Part have occurred. Locations of all stormwater monitoring points. Locations of stormwater inlets and discharge points, with a unique identification code for each discharge point (e.g., Discharge points 001, 002), indicating if you are treating one or more discharge points as substantially identical under Parts 3.2.3, , and 6.1.1, and an approximate outline of the areas draining to each discharge point. If applicable, MS4s and where your stormwater discharges to them. Areas of designated critical habitat for endangered or threatened species, if applicable. Locations of the following activities where such activities are exposed to precipitation: Fueling stations Vehicle and equipment maintenance and/or cleaning areas Loading/unloading areas Locations used for the treatment, storage or disposal of wastes Liquid storage tanks Processing and storage areas Immediate access roads and rail lines used or traveled by carriers of raw materials, manufactured products, waste material, or by-products used or created by the facility Transfer areas for substances in bulk Machinery Page 6

10 Example of a site map: Locations and sources of run-on to your site from adjacent property that contains significant quantities of pollutants Section 3 Potential Pollutant Sources Describe all areas at your facility where industrial materials or activities are exposed to stormwater or from which allowable non-stormwater discharges originate. Industrial materials or activities include, but are not limited to: material handling equipment or activities; industrial machinery; raw materials; industrial production and processes; and intermediate products, by-products, final products, and waste products. Material handling activities include, but are not limited to: the storage, loading and unloading, transportation, disposal or conveyance of any raw material, intermediate product, final product or waste product. For structures located in areas of industrial activity, you must be aware that the structures themselves are potential sources of pollutants. This could occur, for example, when metals such as aluminum or copper are leached from the structures as a result of acid rain. For each area identified, the SWP3 is included industrial activities, potential pollutants, spills and leaks, authorized nonstormwater discharges as mentioned Table 1-3 of 2017 OKR05 permit, unauthorized non-stormwater discharges, salt storage, stormwater sampling data and descriptions of control measures. Page 7

11 3.1. Industrial Activities Instructions (see 2017 OKR05 Part ): List/Name(s) of the industrial activities that are exposed to stormwater.

12 3.6. Salt Storage Instructions (see 2017 OKR05 Part ): Document the location of any storage piles containing salt used for deicing or other commercial or industrial purposes. Note: you will be asked additional questions concerning salt storage in Section of this SWP3 Template, below Coal Storage Piles Instructions (see 2017 OKR05 Part ): Document the location of any storage piles containing coal used for commercial or industrial purposes Sampling Data Summary Instructions (see 2017 OKR05 Part ): Include a brief summary of all stormwater discharge sampling data collected at the facility during the previous permit term. Section 4 Stormwater Control Measures Instructions (see 2017 OK05 Parts 3, 4.2.4, and 11): Stormwater Control measures are the best management practices (BMPs) or other structural or non-structural practices that are/will be used to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants in stormwater. Structural control measures, as the name implies, focus on installation of hard structures to control discharges. Structural controls include practices such as vegetative swales, collection and reuse of stormwater, inlet controls, infiltration devices, and wet retention measures. Nonstructural control measures are intended to prevent or reduce the generation of pollutants in stormwater and/or the volume of stormwater runoff using practices that focus on facility operations and procedures. Examples of non-structural control measures include procedural practices such as employee trainings and the posting of signs that raise staff awareness to the BMPs and procedures in place to control stormwater pollutants. Describe the stormwater control measures that you have installed or will install at your site to meet each section of the Permit in Sections of the SWP3 Template. Non-numeric technology-based effluent limits in Part Sector specific non-numeric technology-based effluent limits in Part 11. Applicable numeric effluent limitations guidelines-based limits in Part and Part 11. Applicable numeric effluent limitations for coal pile runoff in Part Water quality-based effluent limits in Part 3.2. Any additional measures that formed the basis of eligibility regarding threatened and endangered species, critical habitat, and/or historic properties in Part 3.3. In addition to your control measure descriptions, include explanations of how the controls fulfill the following requirements (in Part 3.1.1): The selection and design considerations. How they address the pollutant sources identified in section 3.1 of the SWP3 Template. Page 9

13 You may also check sector specific fact sheet to get more information regarding applicable/suitable control measures for your facility. Industrial Stormwater Factsheets for each of the 29 industrial sectors regulated by the Industrial Stormwater Permit are available on the EPA s website. Each fact sheet describes the types of facilities included in the sector, typical pollutants associated with the sector, and types of stormwater control measures including structural and non-structural best management practices (BMPs) used to minimize the discharge of the pollutants. You may also check Minnesota s Industrial Stormwater Best Management Practices Guidebook, or Oregon s Industrial Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual, or EPA s guidance document on Developing Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan for selecting appropriate BMPs for your facility Non-numeric Technology-based Effluent Limits You must comply with the following non-numeric effluent limits (except where otherwise specified in Part 11) as well as any sector-specific non-numeric effluent limits in Part Minimize Exposure Instructions (see 2017 OKR05 Part ): Describe any structural controls or practices used to minimize the exposure of industrial activities such as manufacturing, processing, material storage areas, loading and unloading areas, dumpsters and other disposal areas, maintenance activities, and fueling operations to rain, snow, snowmelt and runoff. Describe where the controls or practices are being implemented at your site Good Housekeeping Instructions (see 2017 OKR05 Parts and ): Describe any practices you are using to keep exposed areas of your site clean and where these areas are located. Include a schedule for how often you do the following (Note: There are specific requirements for facilities that handle pre-production plastic.): Pickup and disposal of waste materials (this should be done regularly). Routine inspections for leaks and of the condition of drums, tanks and containers Preventive Maintenance Instructions (see 2017 OKR05 Parts and ): Describe procedures to maintain industrial equipment so that spills/leaks are avoided.

Page 10

14 Examples include: Store hazardous chemicals in containers with their original product labels. These labels should be legible. Properly label containers that hold waste chemicals (e.g., used oil, spent solvents,). Describe the procedures you use to safely store hazardous chemicals at your facility. Some examples might be: To store or transport hazardous materials away from drainage paths or waterways. To develop an inventory with the name and locations of all hazardous materials on-site. To surround the storage of hazardous materials with a berm or other appropriate containment best management practice (BMP). To minimize the use and handling of hazardous materials. To not store incompatible materials, such as chlorine and ammonia, in the same temporary containment facility. Train workers about the proper handling of containers of hazardous chemicals. Keep spill kits near areas where spills of hazardous chemicals might occur so they can be cleaned up quickly. Train workers about their roles if there were a spill, leak, or releases of hazardous chemicals so they know how to properly respond as soon as possible. They must know the appropriate facility personnel to be notified who have been trained on procedures to quickly stop, contain and cleanup of chemical leaks, spills, and other releases. Describe where each control is to be located or where applicable procedures will be implemented. Note: some facilities may be required to develop a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan under a separate regulatory program (40 CFR 112). If you are required to develop an SPCC plan, or you already have one, you should include references to the relevant requirements from your plan. DEQ recommends you include: Where a leak, spill or other release containing a hazardous substance or oil in an amount equal to or in excess of a reportable quantity established under either 40 CFR Part 110, 40 CFR Part 117, or 40 CFR Part 302 occurs during a 24-hour period, you must notify the National Response Center (NRC) at (800) or, in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area, call (202) in accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR Part 110, 40 CFR Part 117, and 40 CFR Part 302 as soon as you have knowledge of the discharge. You may also need to report spills or discharges to local emergency response, DEQ and public health offices. Contact information must be in locations that are readily accessible and available Erosion and Sediment Controls Instructions (see 2017 OKR05 Parts and ): Permit requires you to select and implement control measures to limit erosion on areas of the site that, due to topography, land disturbing activities, soils, cover, materials, or other factors, are likely to experience erosion.

Provide a schedule for routine inspections for leaks and conditions of drums, tanks and containers Spill Prevention and Response Procedures Instructions: Describe procedures for preventing and responding to spills and leaks, including notification procedures. For preventing spills, include control measures for material handling and storage, and the procedures for preventing spills that can contaminate stormwater. Also specify cleanup equipment, procedures and spill logs, as appropriate, in the event of spills. You may reference the existence of other plans for Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) developed for the facility under Section 311 of the CWA or BMP programs otherwise required by an OPDES permit for the facility. Include emergency Spill Notification contact phones numbers Preventive Maintenance Instructions: Document preventative maintenance procedures, including regular inspections, testing, maintenance and repair of all control measures to avoid situations that may result in leaks, spills, and other releases, and any back-up practices in place should a runoff event occur while a control measure is off-line. Include the schedule or frequency for maintaining all control measures used to comply with the effluent limits in Part 3 of the 2017 OKR Erosion and Sediment Control Instructions: Document if polymers and/or other chemical treatments are used for erosion and sediment control and identify the polymers and/or chemicals used and the purpose Runoff Management Instructions: Document procedures and schedules to divert, infiltrate, reuse, contain or otherwise reduce stormwater runoff to minimize pollutants in your discharges Salt Storage Piles Instructions: Document procedures and schedules to minimize exposure resulting from adding to or removing materials from the salt storage pile Employee Training Instructions (see 2017 OKR05 Part and Part ): Provide the elements of your training plan, including: The content of the training. The frequency/schedule of training for employees who work in areas where industrial materials or activities are exposed to stormwater, or who are responsible for implementing activities necessary to meet the conditions of the Permit. Page 14

18 Employee training must be conducted at least annually or more frequently if employee turnover is high. The following personnel, at a minimum, must receive training, and therefore should be listed out individually in the table below: Personnel who are responsible for the design, installation, maintenance, and/or repair of controls (including pollution prevention measures). Personnel responsible for the storage and handling of chemicals and materials that could become contaminants in stormwater discharges. Personnel who are responsible for conducting and documenting inspections and monitoring as required in Parts 5 and 7. Personnel who are responsible for taking and documenting corrective actions as required in Part 6. Part of the 2017 OKR05 Permit requires that the personnel who are required to be trained must also be trained to understand the following if related to the scope of their job duties (e.g., only personnel responsible for conducting inspections need to understand how to conduct inspections): An overview of what is in the SWP3. Spill response procedures, good housekeeping, maintenance requirements, and material management practices. The location of all controls on the site required by this permit, and how they are to be maintained. The proper procedures to follow with respect to the Permit s pollution prevention requirements. When and how to conduct inspections, record applicable findings, and take corrective actions Routine Facility Inspections Instructions (see 2017 OKR05 Part and Part 5): Describe the procedures you will follow for conducting routine facility inspections in accordance with Part 5 of the 2017 OKR05 Permit. Document any findings of your facility inspections and maintain this Inspection Report with your SWP3 as required in Part 4.5 of the 2017 OKR05 Permit. Summarize your findings in the annual report per Part 8.3 of the 2017 OKR05 Permit. Any corrective action required as a result of a routine facility inspection must be performed consistent with Part 6 of the 2017 OKR05 Permit. Note: Inspections must be performed by a qualified person with at least one participating member of the stormwater pollution prevention team. Inspectors must consider the results of visual and analytical monitoring (if any) for the past year when planning and conducting inspections. Qualified personnel are those who possess the knowledge and skills to assess conditions and activities that could impact stormwater quality at your facility, and who can also evaluate the effectiveness of control measures. Inspections must be conducted at least quarterly (i.e., once each calendar quarter), or in some instances more frequently (e.g., monthly or weekly, see Part 11 of the OKR05 permit for sector-specific requirements), as appropriate. Increased frequency may be appropriate for some types of equipment, processes and stormwater control measures, or areas of the facility with significant activities and materials exposed to stormwater. At least one of your routine inspections must be conducted during a period when a stormwater discharge is occurring. Page 15

19 Exception for Routine Facility Inspections: If you are invoking the exception for inactive and unstaffed sites relating to routine facility inspections, you must include documentation to support your claim that your facility has changed its status from active to inactive and unstaffed. To invoke this exception you must also include a statement in your SWP3 per Part indicating that the site is inactive and unstaffed, and that there are no industrial materials or activities exposed to stormwater, in accordance with the substantive requirements in 40 CFR (g)(4)(iii). The statement must be signed and certified in accordance with Part 9.16 of the OKR05 Permit. Note: If circumstances change and industrial materials or activities become exposed to stormwater or your facility becomes active and/or staffed, this exception no longer applies and you must immediately resume routine facility inspections. If you are not qualified for this exception at the time you become authorized under the 2017 OKR05, but during the Permit term you become qualified because your facility becomes inactive and unstaffed, and there are no industrial materials or activities that are exposed to stormwater, you must include the same signed and certified statement as above and retain it with your records pursuant to Part 4.5. Inactive and unstaffed facilities covered under Sectors J (Non-Metallic Mineral Mining and Dressing) are not required to meet the no industrial materials or activities exposed to stormwater standard to be eligible for this exception from routine inspections, per Parts 11.J.6. Routine Facility Inspection Report: You will need to document the findings of your facility inspections and related information in a Routine Facility Inspection Report in accordance with Part 5.2 of OKR05 permit and maintain this report with your SWP3. You will also need to summarize your findings in the Annual Report per Part 8.3 and keep a copy of the corrective action report in the SWP3. You may use DEQ s Template for Routine Facility Inspection Report to document your inspection findings or edit/prepare your own to meet your facility needs Corrective Actions Instructions (see 2017 OKR05 Part and Part 6): Describe the procedures for taking corrective action in compliance with Part 6 of the 2017 OKR05 Permit. When any of the following conditions occur or are detected during an inspection, monitoring or other means, the facility will appropriate corrective actions so that the condition is eliminated and pollutant discharges are minimized: An unauthorized release or discharge (e.g., spill, leak, or discharge of non-stormwater not authorized by this or another OPDES permit) occurs at your facility. A discharge violates a numeric effluent limit. Control measures are not stringent enough for the discharge to meet applicable water quality standards or the non-numeric effluent limits. A required control measure was never installed, was installed incorrectly, or not in accordance with the OKR05 permit or is not being properly operated or maintained. Note: All corrective actions must be performed by a qualified person with at least one participating member of the stormwater pollution prevention team. Qualified personnel are those who possess the knowledge and skills to assess conditions and activities that could impact stormwater quality at your facility, and who can also evaluate the effectiveness of control measures. Corrective Action Report: You will need to document corrective action related information in a Corrective Action Report in accordance with Part of OKR05 permit. You will also need to summarize your findings in the Annual Report per Part 8.3 and keep a copy of the corrective action report with the SWP3. Page 16

20 You may use DEQ s Template for Corrective Action Report to document your findings or edit/prepare your own to meet your facility needs Monitoring Instructions (see 2017 OKR05 Part and Part 7.2): Describe your procedures for conducting the four types of analytical monitoring specified by the 2017 OKR05 Permit, where applicable to your facility, including: Quarterly Visual Monitoring (Part of the 2017 OKR05) Annual effluent limitations guidelines monitoring (Part and sector-specific requirements in Part 11 of the 2017 OKR05). Impaired waters monitoring (Part of the 2017 OKR05). Other monitoring as required by DEQ (Part of the 2017 OKR05). Depending on the type of facility you operate, and the monitoring requirements to which you are subject, you must collect and analyze stormwater samples and document monitoring activities consistent with the procedures described in Parts 7, 9.10, and 9.16 of the 2017 OKR05, and any additional sector-specific requirements in Part 11 of the 2017 OKR05. Refer to Part 8 of the 2017 OKR05 for reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Note: All monitoring, except visual monitoring, must be conducted in accordance with the relevant sampling and analysis requirements at 40 CFR Part 136. Include in your description procedures for ensuring compliance with these requirements. It is recommended that the facility maintain an on-site rain gauge to determine when a qualifying rain event occurs. If you plan to use the substantially identical discharge point exception for your quarterly visual monitoring and impaired water monitoring, you must include the following documentation: Location of each of the substantially identical discharge points. Description of the general industrial activities conducted in the drainage area of each discharge point. Description of the control measures implemented in the drainage area of each discharge point. Description of the exposed materials located in the drainage area of each discharge point that are likely to be significant contributors of pollutants to stormwater discharges. An estimate of the runoff coefficient of the drainage areas (low = under 40%, medium = 40 to 65%, high = above 65%). The runoff coefficient is the ratio of excess runoff to the amount of precipitation for a given time over a given area, with a 0 runoff coefficient meaning no runoff potential and 1.0 meaning a completely impervious surface and all stormwater runs off. The runoff coefficient is related to the amount of impervious surfaces (buildings, pavement, sidewalks, etc.) versus pervious surfaces (grass, graveled areas, etc.) at the site. The more impervious surface a facility has, the larger the runoff coefficient. Light industrial facilities typically have a runoff coefficient between 40% and 65% and heavy industrial facilities typically have a runoff coefficient above 65%. Why the discharge points are expected to discharge substantially identical effluents. Note that the substantially identical outfall exception could not be used if there are in fact differences in any of the required components defined above. Page 17
